Question

5. Below is a table to compare and contrast animals adapted to live in three different ecosystems. It is set up to include: the form of nitrogenous waste that the animal is adapted to produce, an advantage to using this m of waste, and a cost or limitation to using this form of waste. You need to fill in at least six (6) boxes in the table below. Write directly on the test, your choice which boxes to fill [6 pts]) Example organism environment How is it adaptive to use that What is the cost or limitation to Form of nitrogenous waste? form? using that form of waste? Bird in the savannah lays shelled-eggs Bony fish in the Great Lakes Bear living in a coniferous forest 6. Extra Credit! Identify as many unique bones on the skeleton to the right as you can. Write the label directly on this test. Papt per bone, up to 2 pts] More Extra Credit questions El. The signal that triggers the slow block to polyspermy also triggers what response inside the egg? E2. What is the term for the chemicals that the special sensory receptors on the surface of your tongue respond to? E3. Briefly explain what agonistic behavior is.

Explanation / Answer

Example Organism

Form on nitrogenous waste

How is it adaptive to use it

What is the cost or limitation to using that form of waste

Birds in the savannah lays shelled eggs

Uric Acid

Requires less water to get dissolved. Can be excreted in solid form

Due to less water requirement, it reduces the body weight and hence support in flying and long flight.

Bony fish in the great lakes

Ammonia

Lives in water and excrete ammonia

Requires high amount of water and as fishes can manage to use excess water to dissolve waste they excrete Ammonia.

Bear living in a coniferous forest

Urea

Terrestrial life style

Urea requires less amount of water than ammonia but requires higher amount of water as compared to Uric acid.
